Hell and than you for your edits. I reverted part of [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Annie_Mae_Young&type=revision&diff=901407017&oldid=893711071 your recent edit here], as you did not provide any sources. Sources are needed for all material on Wikipedia, per WP:VERIFIABLE. I also removed some original research from the Emmer Sewell article. You can't add essay-like personal conclusions, replete with biblical quotes as you did [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Emmer_Sewell&type=revision&diff=901395379&oldid=893803419 here]:

For example, Sewell stacked and arranged cups on her mailbox as a metaphor for Psalm 23:5 "You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings."(Cite web|url=https://biblehub.com/psalms/23-5.htm|title=Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.|website=biblehub.com|access-date=2019-06-11) Thus, she anoints her mailbox and the mail carries that bring her news will optimism and spiritual blessings.

We do not publish the personal opinions or essay-style writing of editors in articles, per WP:OR. Please avoid adding this kind of material in future. Thanks! ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:55, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

I just reverted your addition of unsourced biography material to Agatha Bennett. If you would like your contribs to "stick", always provide sources.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:03, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

::Hello again! Thank you for your excellent edits to the Gee's bend quilters articles. I notice you only using the Souls Grown Deep biographies as a source. It's less than ideal when biography material has a single source. If you can, have a look for further sources that also supports the claims. Thanks!

Hello! Now that you have disclosed that you are a paid editor, you need to also disclose on the talk pages of each article and draft you edit or have edited as a paid employee. See the WP:COI page for further info.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:57, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hello, I'm Zachary Schr. I noticed that you recently removed content from :Sam Doyle without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. FiberTech (talk) 14:42, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the paid editing templates to the pages you have edited. We might seem officious here at first, but rest assured that your contributions are appreciated. There is a "Wikipedia way" of doing things that can be off-putting at the start. Hang in there, we can always use subject editors like yourself. The many varied policies are what built Wikipedia. Also, feel free to reply on talk pages, as that is what they are for: talking!

RE: Sam Doyle, I located and added many sources. I didn't put back "self-taught" or "outsider", as I tend to agree with you that it's a marginalizing term and not really necessary for someone in so many notable museum collections. I did locate the fact that he dropped out of the Penn school in grade nine, so if someone did add back the "self-taught" term, it would be correct as grades school art education isn't very formative, and he did indeed seem to start his art career very late in life (in his 50s, If I recall the sources correctly). In any case, welcome aboard and do not hesitate to ask for editing help as we all edit collaboratively here. It's coincidental that you came along now, as it was only a few months ago that two other editors and I had an impromptu article creation drive that created many of the recent articles on Gee's Bend quilters! Your assistance in expanding them is most appreciated. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 23:28, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Bgourgeot, I've pushed the article to article space. He is notable by virtue of WP:ARTIST 4)d: in multiple museum or notable gallery collections.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:19, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi! I passed by your contributions page to see what you were working on, as I had not noticed any articles from you recently. Ralph Griffin was a hair away from being ready, so I dropped a few edits in and pushed it to article space. Nice work! ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:46, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

~ Haha thanks!! I appreciate all of your help! I'm also working on articles for Archie Byron, Thornton Dial Jr., Richard Dial, and Arthur Dial. Lots going on.

Congrats on another terrific article! You have become a good editor. One tiny note: you should update your template to use bulleted lists (*) instead of numbered ones #. Let me know if you need any help!ThatMontrealIP (talk) 06:56, 24 November 2019 (UTC) ~~ Thanks! That's a helpful tip. I'll start doing that.

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Vernon Burwell, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:39, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

I was pointed at your work and am impressed! Did you know that new articles can get extra attention when presented on the Main page in the DYK (Did you know ...?) section?. It's too late for this one, - "new" means a week, but for the next one, let's go for it. I'll watch Draft:Henry Speller and will nominate. Did you know that you could give your articles an infobox, such as Beethoven, to see some things at a glance? Nice to meet you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:50, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi thank you! I would like to start including infoboxes, but I'm not sure how to upload photos of the artists. The organization that I work for owns the copyright of most of the photos of the artists, but Wikipedia won't allow me to upload them if they aren't mine, specifically. Any ideas?

::{{ping|Bgourgeot}} I think you could do this: ask your organization if they would agree to release medium or low resolution versions of the images you are talking about. I think your goal (and success) so far has been to create awareness of notable African-American artists by writing articles. Uploading images that are (freely licensed) would be a version of that goal. You would have to do some image editing work to reduce the resolution, then get in touch with WP:OTRS with some kind of proof that the images are freely released. AT at that point you could upload them, and the license would be confirmed by a tag indicating OTRS has the proof.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:56, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you!! Happy Solstice to y'all!

Hello, Bgourgeot. Some time ago, a file you uploaded — :File:Maxwell L Anderson 2019.jpg — was tagged with {{tl|OTRS pending}}, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.

• If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=&editintro=&preloadtitle=§ion=new&title=Wikipedia%3AOTRS+noticeboard&create=Create+section the OTRS noticeboard] that you have done so.

• If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=&editintro=&preloadtitle=§ion=new&title=Wikipedia%3AOTRS+noticeboard&create=Create+section the OTRS noticeboard] that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 14:32, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
